Flat Baroque
"Flat Baroque" is a song composed by Richard Carpenter and John Bettis in 1966, during their career at Disneyland. It lay dormant until 1970, when Carpenter and his sister, Karen Carpenter, appeared on a syndicated radio show, called Your Navy Presents. They performed a slow, jazzy version of the song with the oboe being the main star. Carpenter did not think of recording a studio version of the song for record release until 1972 with the release of the album, A Song for You. This cut is much faster than the Your Navy Presents version, and features the piano rather than the oboe. The song gained Richard a Grammy award nomination in 1972 for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocals. In April 1972, it was released as the B-side song to "It's Going to Take Some Time".
